Instructions
Perfect Popcorn
  1. Heat the oil and salt in a 3-quart (large) saucepan or pot with a lid on medium-high heat.
  2. Put 3 popcorn kernels into the oil and cover the pan. When the kernels pop, add the remaining popcorn kernels in an even layer. Cover, remove from heat and count 30 seconds. Return the pan to the heat. The popcorn should begin popping soon, and all at once. Once the popping starts gently shake the pan by moving it back and forth over the burner. When the popping slows to several seconds between pops, remove it from the heat.
  3. Serve as is, or shake on a seasoning mix.
